FRANCE AND GERMANY.
The Feeling in the Latter Country Less Vio-
cent than Formerly


tCopyright. 1887 by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, July 23.-The tension of popular
feeling against France is less extreme. The
country could not have existed long without
some decisive form of action to relieve the recent
strain, and the withdrawal of General Boulanger
from the front, and the policy at the close
of the French Assembly, as well as the contempt
expressed in military circles for his mobilization
experiment., have combined to soothe the public
irritation. General Ferrons plan of mobiliza-
tion is believed not to involve the same menace
as Boulanger's. A prominent military author
ity, writing to the Neuesten Nachrchten, of
Munich, declares that if the mobilization of the
French army is confined TO the south
ern or western department. it will be
simply costly farce; if carried ont the

sary the greatest vigilance the part OF the
